CHARLESTON, MISS, June 6.-Circuit
Court convened here today, His Honor,
Judge Rosne, presiding, who delivered
al able charge to the grand jury. II ia
commendable in Gov. Lowry for Civ
ing US super.excellent judges. We also
have efficient d strict Attorneys, and
none more go than /. ID. Oglesby, oil
this district. With him to prosecute,
and Judge Rowan to administer just
ice, lawlessness has diminished every
year. Besides our home lawyers
Ne sra. Bailey & Bailey, E,kridge &
Easlyn and Capt Marshall-the writer
noticed our debopair Congressman,
Judge Morgan, who has served his
constituency so acceptably; also the
Hons. Fitzgerald, Of Grenada, aud
Boothe, OF Ssrdis, and some others,
whose names will appear further on.
The crowd was immense, the most OF
which came to bear speak, z by the
candidates for District Attorney,
Judge R)ane being 30 amiabls as to
adjourn for early di oner, 80 as to give
them chance at the dear people"
Capt. Slack, Of Grenada, started the
ball and kept 1t rolling some time In
his inimitsble way. There is but one
Slack in North Mississippi. Next,
the Hon. 8. q. Cook, OF Bstesville.
He is a man Of good judg-
ment, and a fair speaker. Then
Osesby in his consuetudinal style.
Lastly, the Hon. Mr., Bellinger, OF
Pittsboro. lis WIS at an unfavorable
time, as the "bellS" were ringing for
an already late dinner, and how could
one "Bsll" do much when the people
wanted to dance 10 the tune of the
orchestra? However, he made good
impression. II was regretted that
Col. Whitfield, also a candidate for
the same offics, was absent. He is q
beautiful speaker. As these gentlemen
are all Democrats. there is no issus
between them, only Oglesby has the
"bait" and the others are hungry for
it. All admitted that he had made a
No. l ofiiter, but insisted that he
ought 10 retire. Some cited cases
where parties bad refused the third
term-sour grapes, eh ?-and Mr..
Cook read a part OF Cleveland's letter,
where no said it would be a good law
for one term only. By the way, il
anybody thinks q. will refuse a re.
nomination, he IL fool, and q. would
be q bigger fool to do 30. In reply
Oglesby cited various eases where
parties had received offices for
greater period than he WAS asking
for, and that he was willing to risk his
case with the people. 1t may be news
to some of your readers to know that
this gifted man used to work on the
Shares" not being able even to rent
land, but by economy and industry
he has saved something for a
"rainy day." This certainly is
no bar to his reelection, ss some OF the
speakers thought. His speech created
more enthusiasm than any of the
others, and his friends believe he is
still the first choice of this county
Tallahatchie. Notwithstanding the
large crowd, everything passed off
Twas good to be there
among 80 many candidates, who are
playing the agreeable. AS nearly half
Of our voters are such, it is proposed,
a. matter Of economy, that they stay
at home and let the other part do the
canvassing.
In our county we have the finest
crop prospect since the "wah." Gen.
Green is numerous, owing to a good
deal Of rain recently, butso far is man
agesble under the command OF our
happy, healthful and industrious peo-
Pile, who are vigorously asssulting him
with deadly intent and malice afore-
thought.
Your Weekly has good circulation
in this county, and the Daily is ofen
sought after for the latest news.
Give us Morgan, Rosne and Ogles-
by, and the world NAV wac a. it will.
